Fc Barcelona are a bunch of cheaters

[BEAST Griffin]

In 2009 they got into the finals because the referee denied several penalties to Chelsea. Then they won against Manchester in the final.

And now this yesterday:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-OMZyuFEOw

Didn't even touch him and he drops to the floor like he just got killed. And even if he had touched him, he touched the ball first and that would never be worth a red card.

Disgraceful so called "best team in the world".

[bisk]

You're an idiot.
Not gonna dispute the fact that Dani Alves likes to roll around and flop, but that's a red. In several occasions, it doesn't matter if you fully make contact, graze someone or miss him, just like in that instance. What, you want him to dislocate his knee or break his shinbone first before he gets a red? Just gtfo.

you act like barcelona is the only team with floppers on it... flopping is everywhere, in fact real madrid has some of the most notorious floppers in the game! Pretty boy Ronaldo hits the deck every time someone comes within 5 feet of him.

and i cant find a video of it, but Adebayor had a pretty harsh foul that should have been red

[LJJ]

What; you've never played football before? A straight leg tackle is the most dangerous action you can take on a football field and it's supposed to be a red card every time.

first off, no its not, a two footed tacked with studs up is much worse...
secondly, HE DIDNT EVEN TOUCH HIM...
thirdly, its a yellow card at best...
fourthly, barca was diving the whole game...

and for the poster who commented on Ronaldo diving, ive never seen any team EVER dive as much as barca did yesterday (not even the Italian team in the world cup)... sergio busquettes, pedro, david villa and even messi to some extent should be ashamed of themselves.

yes real did play physical, but the sissy diving and simulation that barca displayed was atrocious... the whole club should be fined or at least warned, but we all know thats not happening as barca have people at every level in Uefa looking out for them.

really is a disgrace (like Drogba said) to the beautiful game!

btw Messi saved this game from being talked about as one of the worst ever

What the hell are you talking about; A two legged studs up tackle is a variation of the straight leg tackle. Pepe did it with one leg; yes it's worse of you do it with both legs. It's the same kind of foul.

And it's always supposed to be a red card. This is an actual rule. You can look that shit up. Pepe basically attempted the exact same tackle as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BB4gSvyc4I

anothr proof that Mourinho is not a coach .. he is just a translator.

and people who say: ''Didn't even touch him''
open you eyes he did hit the leg .. stop crying take your loss like a man

this Barca team is the greatest in history.... deal with it

[Dolphin]

The only thing about the Pepe sending off that makes me laugh is how Flamini only got a yellow card in the round of 16 vs Tottenham when he jumped into the player's ankle with both feet studs up. He hit the player's leg when his ass was still off the ground....and he only got a yellow.

I'm not annoyed with the straight red for Pepe (although I thought it should have been a yellow), rather I'm annoyed with how inconsistent refs are (in all sports) because Flamini's tackle will always be 100000000x worse than Pepe's and somehow THAT ref thought it only deserved a yellow while THIS ref thought Pepe's was a red.

It's not for no reason that yesterday's ref was voted the worst in the Bundesliga by the players in 2010. With that said, and as a life long RM fan, the result was well-deserved.

Well-deserved?

How so?

I watched a boring and apathic game for both teams until minute 60. Famous "Barcelona football" was passes between the central-defenders all the time, without surpassing the half-pitch.

Im not saying Madrid deserved it either, because that wouldnt be true. But come on, what did Barcelona do until Pepe was ejected?

Mourinho played his game. Defensive 100 % in the first half and putting the lines of pressure ahead in the second half.

That game should have been a tie.

C. Ronaldo is one guy. He does dive. But he is one guy. I'm not even a Real Madrid fan so :shrug: . But look at the shit Fc Barcelona pulls all the time.

Fc Barcelona as a TEAM dives and fakes shit all the time in the most disgraceful ways. And the referees have favored them like crazy in recent years.

Half the time they seem to play against 10 men. They could've lost against Arsenal last season but a bogus referee decision left Arsenal with 10 men and Barcelona advanced.

[Nick Young]

For the first time ever, imma agree with you.

Chelsea should have won.
Barcelona fans always vehemently deny bullshit like this with the excuse that "football won out at the end" and say the opposing team played defensively and deserved to lose but it is that chelsea game in particular Barca got their ass kicked on both sides of the field and it was only their cheating and diving and the worst ref performance of all time that got them that win. Platini wanted no part of a Chelsea-Man U rematch two years in a row because of his bizarre hatred of English football so instead decided to serve up to us the most rigged match of all time. Barcelona is a disgrace to football. They don't play pretty, they play boring.

Pepe made Messi his bitch all game long in the CL. And what happens? He gets a bogus red card for a situation where he and another player both went for the ball. He hit the ball and didn't even touch the other guy. he gets a red card for it. Then, coincidentally, Messi starts playing great.

Not to mention there was a similar situation in that game where Xabi Alonso was fouled. And if Pepe deserved that red card, that Barcelona player deserved it even more. But he didn't get it. Not sure if he even got a yellow card.

[Nick Young]

Busquets and Dani Alves are their two biggest shits, with Messi a close third. Busquets and Alves pull dirty b*tch fouls every possible moment and never get reprimanded and then in turn dive on the floor crying everytime they lose the ball and always get a foul called in their favor. Messi is just a passive aggressive little midget shit, Maicon is another player who makes Messi his b*tch and every time the match up, whether international or at club Messi is allowed to throw elbows, toss Maicon on the floor, slide tackle studs up in to his ankles and not get so much as a yellow card. It's all so much bullshit. Xavi and Iniesta are diving scumbags as well but I don't hold it against them so much because they are ****ing amazing footballers, Iniesta in particular with the best technique in the world.

Did he already have a yellow before that play?

If you do that, that's an automatic yellow. But if he got a straight red for that?
then that is some bullshit. :facepalm

Don't remember if it was a straight red or not.

He shot the ball a second after the whistle. Consider also that the stadium is pretty loud. No way you should even give a second yellow for that at such a big stage.

Van Persie didnt hear the whistle, it was the f*cking Bernabeau wasn't it. He already had a yellow but that is a bullshit way to get a second, ref was fishing for anything though, Boussaka is nearly as shit as Ovrebo, what a funny coincidence Barca always gets these bullshit refs in games they are in danger of being knocked out.

[Skywalker]

lmao the one where ronaldo gets pushed over then falls into a guy is the pinacle of BARCA cheating if it does in fact exist

[Nick Young]

Wouldn't that be the fault of the referees? Are we saying Barcelona has collusion with the referees?
the referees paid by UEFA who always seem to give Barca every single benefit of the doubt call, especially in big games when Barca is in danger of being knocked out of the champions league? Yes it is their fault. However if barca didnt cheat so much in the first place they would have nothing to go on. Barca has collusion with Michael Platini and the lot, all these assholes in charge of UEFA who keep pushing upon us the "this is the greatest club team of all time" bullshit.

When Barca is in trouble what are the refs expected to do? Give one of the opposing teams players a red for no reason to bail barca out. And if that doesnt work, give barca a bullshit penalty at the last minute. barca having trouble with minnowss FC Copenhagen? No worries, refs will just allow Victor Valdez to punch the teams star striker in the face and handle the ball outside the box at the same time without even getting a yellow. In Platini's bizarre world, Barca deserve it for some reason.

nope. only if you count Ovrebo and Busacca as part of the starting 12. Without these two men handing you the CL on a stick the only European trophy you would have this decade is the Ronaldinho one, which probably came at a time before you jumped onto the Barca bandwagon, sport.

So basically you're saying a red card in football automatically means the opposition losses & a team is cheating (because some of their players have the tendency to flop)? Jealousy is a females trait; quit being an idiot :rolleyes:. Barca is by far the best team in the world; it isn't even close. They could go as a team and win the World Cup. That team is so god damn stacked from top to bottom. Their development roster can dominate teams; they have so many 15-17 year old kids who will be world class soccer players.

:oldlol: At cheaters; they flat out dominate everyone and anyone. Messi is in the same Pantheon as Pele, Maradona & Zidane. **** it, keep this up and he's better then all of them. Guy is insane; never in my life have I seen someone who can control the football as well as he can.

My good friend is a huge Man U fan; and he constantly makes excuses whenever his team losses, I have never heard this guy just straight up admit Barca owned his team in championships league. He was crying for like an hour afterwards, was pretty devastated.

Villa, Messi, Xavi, Alves, Mascherano, Puyol, Iniesta.
I'm not even going to mention Affelay, Milito, Abidal, Keita etc.

This is by FAR the most well-rounded and cohesive group of players in the world; they make football beautiful to watch. They have terrific coaching staff and owners with deep pockets. I can't conceive how anyone can mention them and "cheating" in the same sentence; they basically make anyone and everyone their weekly bitch. I don't even remember the last time they actually were outplayed; yeah they loss on occasions, but it's soccer. Barca has a chance to go down as the greatest football squad of all-time; they got a shitload of young talent, so their success will perpetuate.

What is this even mean? In soccer, one unlucky bounce can be a difference between a win and a loss. Dominating a soccer match isn't evaluated on the score-card; a true fan watches the game and understands pure dominance. You can loss a game by 2 goals and still completely dominate.

Barca has arguably the best mid-field core and most certainly the best striking duo in the world. Their defense is exceptional and their goalie is certainly one of the best. But what they strive on is their passing; no team in the world is on their level and that's how you dominate a football game.

Barca consistently takes more shots then their opponents, have more scoring chances, dominate per possession average and rarely allow teams chances to score. If you actually watch them play every game (like I do); you'd know that. Been a fan of them since 1989; and I have never seen a better player then Messi in my day including Zidane.

They've won champions league already, and they'll most likely win more. Winning a champions league is extremely tough to do; even if you have the very best players in the world at every position, chances are some days you won't be at your best and still loss. Soccer isn't about loading up talent (ask Real Madrid) but about meshing players that complement each other well and Barca have mastered that very well.

When I say dominance; I don't mean the final score, but rather careful analysis of all the tangible elements involved in the game of football. They are as close to perfection as I've seen in my days; of course there were clubs with similar dominance before my days, but as good as Barca were in the early 90's, this team is even better. Most importantly they'll continue to develop young stars and continue to patch up their roster by signing big name players.

It's quite easy to notice the jealousy in this thread from (my guess) a bunch of ignoramuses who have never a) played competitive football and/or b) truly understand the elements involved.

Khedira deserved a card for that one. But Abidal doesn't have to act like his face was ripped off. In the replay it looks like Khedira didn't touch him at all.

I wonder if these guys feel shame if they see replays of themselves acting like that.

or that Valdez didn't trip Ronaldo up blatantly on purpose in the penalty box?
yeah that was a bitch move

[SilkyJohnson]

The vast majority of teams have players who dive. Do Real Madrid fans in this thread fail to grasp that Angel Di Maria is arguably the worst diver playing in football today? Or perhaps not. So when he and Cristiano Ronaldo hit the ground it's because more often than not they've actually been fouled. Yeah right.

Barcelona players dive, especially against Real Madrid, possibly as retaliation to the systematic fouling Mourinho adopts, even in glorified friendlies such as the Spanish Super Cup, as Sanchez, Iniesta and co. can attest to. "But why can't they just stop the play-acting and bully Real Madrid in kind. Afterall, a good old fashioned foul is manlier than an undignified fall to the floor, no matter how slight the contact." Why the hell should they? For starters, they'll have around 70% of the possession nigh on every game, so, why waste the time you don't have the ball by leaving a foot in during the important passages of play when you're closing down which ultimately leads to you regaining possession. Plus, it would be unwise of your solitary midfield enforcer to be trigger happy in his tackles and in danger of picking up a red. This is a luxury opposition teams can afford to take when they've packed the midfield with defensive minded players.

But only a complete and utter raging idiot would point to Barcelona's theatrics as the main reason to their success under Guardiola. As I eluded to earlier, most teams have players who are prone to histrionics, however, the bits that come in-between those instances (which aren't nearly as frequent as the hysterical people in this thread make out), you know, the passing, closing down, movement, finishing, creativity etc; well, Barcelona are the best ever to have done it, simple as that.

[BEAST Griffin]

Puyol dive in 2006 to get Shevchenko's semi finals goal disallowed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4_KUczbX8M

They weren't as bad back then with the theatrics and referee favors but it's Puyol and he's still on the team so I'll post it.

This. I was like :wtf: You can clearly see he tripped him on purpose.

SMFH.....

[Nick Young]

This. I was like :wtf: You can clearly see he tripped him on purpose.

SMFH.....
Valdez is allowed to handle the ball outside the box, kick players in the head, drag people down in the box, and basically do whatever the hell he wants without getting any punishment.

That's why he is the best keeper in the world, not because he's more talented than others, not even close but he's like the Neo of keepers, the only chosen one repeatedly allowed to break the very rules of the game.

[BEAST Griffin]

Your mouth is frothing with Barcelona dogma.

Barcelona dives and acts as a team strategy. And the referees usually rule in their favor. Barcelona gets the calls.

Yet they can't get to the Champions League finals without referee help. Just because they have Manchester United's number doesn't change that.

It's always very close for them and then they get calls in their favor that help them advance.

The slightest touches and being good defensively are considered "anti futbol" in the Barcelona worshiper minds. Theatrics and referee favors are perfectly justified because other teams play "anti futbol".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH3Kz_FADZ0

Valdez runs out of the box to kung fu kick a guy at the beginning of the video and doesn't even get a card. A wrongly disallowed goal. Pique handling the ball and no penalty. And a not given penalty for Rubin Kazan.

Every time Alves elbows someone in the face that player deserves it because his team plays ANTI NEGATIVE FOOTBALL. And Alves is permitted by FIFA guidelines to inflict his elbow of justice whenever he sees fit

This thread is to Barcelona glory hunters what sunlight is to Vampires.

:bowdown:
never seen a more blatantly cheating team in all of pro sports.

The worst part is they throw all the dirty hard fouls, dirtier as any team in the world at the moment, but then get protected by the refs like porcelain dolls themselves.

I'm sure there are many midfielders in the world who would also look much better than they are if given the protection Xavi and Iniesta and Messi get.

Every single time Xavi, Messi and Iniesta go down they get a call for example, and they dive just as much as Ronaldo. Imagine if Ronaldo or Drogba got every single foul and flop given their way.

That's why Messi is not good internationally, he isn't given the bullshit protection and benefit of the doubt calls he gets at Barca.

alenleomessi, crosso√er, SilkyJohnson it's not that the other teams don't dive at all. However there is a huge difference between diving when you lose the ball, or when you want to get a penalty, and pretending you got hit in the face, when not in a dangerous position at the midfield. To any non-Bar

What a huge steaming pile of horse shite.

Indeed they are. There is no one in the world who denies that they are dirty players who will cheat whenever they can if it means getting an edge. That's part of why they've elevated to the upper echelon of the sport.
But, literally every other top team in the world has three very dirty players in their lineup at all times.

So uh, Pepe/Ronaldo/Marcelo/Di Maria aren't a bunch of the dirtiest pieces of shit in the game? Or Drogba/Essien/Mikel/Torres/Malouda?
Literally every team has these dirty players.

Barcelona gets the most favored calls
No shit sherlock. They have the most possession at something like 65+% every game, even against the very best teams in the world. So they get tackled A LOT more than any other team. So by extension they also get more sketchy calls.

You know what they also get? They also get by far the most missed calls of any team. That's sort of a big offsetting disadvantage isn't it?



Why to people by into the propaganda that Mourinho perpetuates? Are you people really this dumb? Mourinho is already talking about it before the events actually take place. It's his way of getting a psychological advantage. This is the same manager who never ever lets his team enter the pitch first. He is a very good manager, but it's not exactly a secret that he will lie and manipulate in anyway he can, and this is the guy you people are trusting? It's already been proven that Real Madrid editted footage to make it look like Barcelona has been wrongly favored.

You are right. Have a 30+ advantage in red cards over opponents in two years is not enough. They need to have zero red cards while the opponent need to get 60 red cards.

[Nick Young]

Nonsense. Chelsea played anti futbol. Barcelona rightfully advanced.

:rolleyes:
Yep

However everyone who remembers those games remembers BARCA playing anti football.

All they ever did in Camp Nou was roll harmless through-ball after harmless throughball into Petr Cech's waiting arms or Alex's feet. They created absolutely nothing.

At Stamford Bridge we created like 7 good chances, 4 of which were stopped by blatant Barca cheating. We were fluent direct attacking football and Barca created NOTHING. Dani Alves dragged Malouda down blatantly about 3-4 times including one in the box where Malouda beats him and so Alves throws him on the floor with both arms and instead of a penalty it resulted in a freekick outside the box from an obscure angle:facepalm
Did everyone forget Essien's beautiful left footed volley? Yes it was all anti-football though and Barca were deserving victors because rolling slow through balls into Petr Cech's arms is beautiful football.

Oh yeah Messi did nothing and got shut down easily by Ashley Cole and Bosingwa.

Can't wait to get revenge against those ******s

Aleonmessi is a gloryhunter, he's from goddamn Macedonia for christsake, and only started liking Barca when he realized the refs will never let them lose a big match.


The Arsenal game was just as bad, with Bussaca doing his best Ovrebo impression sending Van Persie off for nothing.

And even then Arsenal still would have beat them if Bendtner wasn't the worst player ever. Everytime Barca is in the tiniest bit of trouble UEFA sends in a clown rig puppet ref. It is an obvious pattern.

[dunksby]

Nope, not literally every team has divers. In fact most can be pointed out. In my team Arsenal for example every fan admits that Eboue (who is gone now) was the one that was giving us a bad name, because he dives. And he does it to get penalties, not to get opponents booked. That's the main difference.
I can, and have acknowledged that every team has players that dive occasionally. But Barcelona football team takes it to whole new levels. And if you don't believe me, watch some european basketball. Barcelonian basketballers are ironically the biggest floppers as well.

Also by definition they get the most scoring opportunities, and also get trapped the most in the offside situations. They are the ones booked the most for kicking the ball after the whistle... or are they??? Seriously I can't even imagine vPersies red card being given if we were playing against an other team, much less a Barcelona player getting a red for that.

Yeah, maybe not every one of those players have specifically done the left side triple pirouette with a **********'s twist type of dive that you ask for (or do I care to search them out even in the slightest), but the bottom line is they are all dirty players. Drogba is known for spontaneously falling over every single time he loses the ball, despite being one of the heaviest and most well-balanced players in the history of the sport.

They are all dirty players and deliberately cheat. And every single top team has these players. Even your precious Van Persie, he is one of the dirtiest strikers ever to come out of my country. Hell, all the bottom teams have them to. I don't really care to distinguish beyond that, I don't see the point. I don't see the truth to what you are saying either, seems like a bunch of racist bullshit to me. What the hell do Dani Alves or Mascherano have to do with Barcelona specifically? They were just as dirty players before they signed with them.


And yes, when you are aboard on this "Barcelona are cheats, and there is a mass conspiracy in place to make them unfairly win every game"-train, you are buying into a movement that Mourinho started. Lying, cheating, little Mourinho who nobody truly takes serious. You got caught up in the hype, because you don't watch the sport objectively. Presumably because you have a ******.

Mourinho is the one who made Ovrebo throw the one sided game to Barca and Mourinho is the one who sent off Van Persie for no reason (and remember Barcas still would have lost even with Busacca helping them if Bendtner didn't suck so much under pressure, for example if it was Van Persie at the end of that breakaway in the end there's a 93% chance he beats Valdez and sends Arsenal ahead of Barca despite Busacca trying to hand barca the game Ovrebo style)

aesthetic has to deal with beauty and artistic taste. so preference is to be accounted for fool.

hance it being the most popular, it would mean it is the most aesthetically pleasing. people are not going to continue to watch a brand, product, item, etc that is not. what is so hard to understand?

if people were to have a vote as to who has the best body in the world for men and women, the two winners would be the most aesthetically pleasing. same goes for sports. the most popular is the easiest on the eye and hence aesthetically superior to the rest.

He knew he wouldn't get a good shot and decided his team had better chances to score if he just falls down. The only contact was a slight brush with the hand on Xavi's shoulder with basically zero pressure. It looks like a good call from far away but you got to watch the close up angles. It was clear he planned to go down for a cheap penalty all along. He even ran slow trying to draw coincidental contact to sell a penalty to the referee.

Never a penalty. If any slightest brush while running for a ball is worth a penalty, there would need to be A LOT more penalties in football. It would ruin the game. Hell, there would need to be a penalty at every other corner kick.

And even if it is, it's still a cheap attempt by a Barcelona player to gain an unfair advantage. He wanted to be close to the defender and planned to fall all along, and any type of contact, intentional or coincidental, was really just a bonus to make it easier to sell.

It fits into this thread regardless.

[AllenIverson3]

LAWL no, Pedro, Dani Alvez, Messi, Iniesta, Ronaldo, Di Maria, Villa, Xavi, Busquets are all much bigger divers, they are basically the elite diver status complete with scuba license, Robben ain't comparable

are you ****ing stupid or just retarded?

[Swaggin916]

dude Brca and Real games are the worst... That's why most of the times I just record them and get past those 5 mintue stretches of guys flopping around like a ******** on a trampoline followed by yelling finger pointing face grabbing and sometimes headbutting... It's just like wow why I do have to have to get the male equivalent to Bad Girls Club when I watch this crap? The game when they are playing is fantastic but that man. buscunts is definitely the worst tho.

Funny comment considering your old username

Not only that, but they ruined the football with their awful "ball possession" strategy. There is nothing more boring that watching Barca play.

most opinions are that this playstyle is beautiful to watch and everyone who goes defense mode against barca automatically plays anti-football?

[dunksby]

Barcelona = Clippers
Anybody else watched the second leg?

Uhh what? Barca plays the most beautiful game. This team is unbeatable and Pep is yet again leading them to an amazing season.

Pep vs. Real Madrid: 8-4-1 and all 4 draws either won a knockout round or La Liga...

[Figlo]

Messi must be embarrassed by these teammates

Bold are the myths surrounding Barcelona and their performance which has been spewed by their new to the game glory hunter fans. First of all Barcelona does not play the most beautiful game just like Spain NT does not and Pep could not lead his own dick into his girl's hole let alone a team to championships.

[blablabla]

lol barca most beautiful football:roll:
it's passing around until someone gets open with the right players this is a full proof strategy to win look at swansea they are winning games they shouldn't win by playing like that

Most exciting teams in their sport? :cheers:

Clippers flop i agree, but Barca not really, except for Alves and Busquets, but every team has its floppers, its part of the game. Pepe flopped like 3 times and stepped on Messi hand and didnt even get a yellow. On teh other hand barca two main players Iniesta and Sanchez are now injured for few weeks.. yeah flopping right.

1. Anyone who doesn't think Barca plays beautiful soccer is ****ed in the head.

2. Barca doesn't flop like any other team. They flop, act, whine ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY OTHER TEAM.

Yea but Drogba took that to a whole other level today.

It's called karma.

Also what barca was playing today was not beautiful. It was boring. Passing the ball to feet over and over wasn't beautiful or exciting. Is it brilliant and technically difficult? Yes but also its boring as shit especially when they dont score 5 goals and when Messi doesnt do jack shit.

To be fair they created a lot of chances. To be realistic, they blew every single one of them.

Still upset Kalou missed that 1v1 at the end, just abit of composure and a small chip and it's 2-0 advantage going to nou camp

[G-Funk]

How good is chicharito?

I'm as happy as the next guy for the loss you guys forced on Barca but you don't wanna play the "if" game :lol

[Rojogaqu11]

How good is chicharito?

Between the levels of Falcao and Torres. A serviceable striker when healthy. Good anticipation, solid athleticism, but nothing spectacular. He still young though.

More examples of UEFAlona cheating from last night.

Messi shoves Lampard in the chest hard with both hands. Roid rage. If Lampard goes down clutching his face it's a red, should have been a red anyways, if ref's going to send of JT for that knee.

Fabregas went down with 0, that's right, 0 contact from Drogba and got a penalty. Just watched the replay.

Reminds me of Alves flying in the air after Pepe doesnt even touch him and Pepe gets a red:facepalm

Good to see the amazing "top CB in the world" Puyol treated like Drogba's bitch over two legs:lol

10 men vs 14 and UEFA and still we prevail against the "best team of all time" and that HGH wonderkin "best player of all time".

WE ARE CHELSEA, WE GOT RAMIRES U MAD BITCHEZ??
